The Lifespan Lab

In the Lifespan lab at Emmanuel College our goal is to meaningfully contribute to scientific knowledge on how sex and gender impact social development across the lifespan by conducting quality theoretically-driven research.

COLLABORATIONS
In the lifespan lab we collaborate with colleagues at Boston Children’s Hospital/ Harvard Medical School, the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, and West Virginia University.

CURRENT PROJECTS
Current projects in the lab include:

The Adult Friendship Study
We are investigating how biological sex impacts friendships across the lifespan. We are currently recruiting adults aged 30 and older.

The Facebook Study
We are investigating how biological sex is associated with friendships on Facebook. We are currently recruiting male Facebook users aged between 18-25

If you are interested in participating in any of these projects, please contact the Lifespan Lab at lifespanlab@emmanuel.edu
